Detective Conan: Knifeman? I'm a good citizen of Beihua

Special Search Department.

When Nishizaki Zhouming returned to the office, other people from the Special Investigation Department hurried over to inquire about the situation.

"It's okay." Xi Qi Zhou Ming had a forced smile on his face. "The Xi Qi family and I didn't have much to do with each other to begin with. Now that I'm implicated, there's nothing I can do about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Morimoto Yu walked in from behind the crowd, followed by a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

"Teacher, this Mr. Tian Jiangzhi is looking for you."

When Xi Qi Zhou Ming heard the voice, he looked over and met Tian Jiangzhi's gaze.

Tian Jiangzhi was originally Taro Nishizaki's confidant. Later, too many things happened in the Nishizaki family, so Taro Nishizaki arranged him to the Nishizaki Group to help Nishizaki Yuki manage the company.

Now Taro Nishizaki and Yuki Nishizaki are both dead. The only descendant of the main family, except for Touke Nishizaki who is in the detention center, is Zhouming Nishizaki. As the current agent of the Nishizaki Group, Tian Jiangzhi came to Zhouming Nishizaki to discuss the old man's funeral.

Xi Qi Zhou Ming had some vague guesses in his mind, and the smile on his face faded a lot. He said calmly: "Come in."

The two walked into the office.

"When did he die?" Xi Qi Zhou Ming asked straight to the point.

"This morning, around 4 a.m.," Tian Jiangzhi said. "He was resuscitated many times, but the pain was too great. Even with a lung transplant, his survival rate wasn't high. So he woke up one last time, rewrote his will, and passed away."

"Haha." Xi Qi Zhou Ming sneered, "Serves you right."

I wanted to see my children and grandchildren and my family prosper before I died, but I never thought that the old would send off the young and no one would be able to see them for the last time before they died.

How ironic.

Tian Jiangzhi didn't get angry. He just took out the document in his hand and pushed it in front of Xi Qi Zhou Ming: "The old man made a will before he died. Now all the assets and connections of the Xi Qi family will be handed over to you for inheritance."

"That is to say..." Tian Jiangzhi pushed up his glasses, "you will be the current head of the Nishizaki family from now on."

"What? He's crazy?"

Nishizaki Zhouming's originally nonchalant expression suddenly changed. The expression he looked at Tian Jiangzhi was extremely distorted, as if he found it difficult to accept this fact.

"Why would he give it to me? Doesn't he still have that wonderful grandson? Or those idiots from the side branches, what would he leave it to me for? Did he do it on purpose? He definitely did it on purpose!"

The more he spoke, the more resentful Xi Qi Zhou Ming felt.

He had just drawn a line between himself and the Nishizaki family, but that old man actually wanted to drag him into it. How could he not feel resentful?

"I don't know about that." Tian Jiangzhi unfolded the documents and pushed them in front of Xi Qi Zhou Ming. "These wills have been notarized, and there is absolutely no problem. If you don't believe me, our lawyers have the audio records and can check them for you at any time."

"I won't accept the Xiqi family." Xiqi Zhouming directly denied, "Get out."

Once he accepted those things, it would mean that he would be bound to the Nishizaki family forever, and all the good reputation he had accumulated over the years would be gone!

He would never do such a stupid thing.

He wants to continue to be his own prosecutor steadily, and then become the future director of the Special Investigation Department!

Nishizaki Zhouming now just wants to kick Tian Jiangzhi out.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Tian Jiangzhi's face.

"Mr. said he had long guessed you wouldn't accept it, but since you were the one who did it first, aren't you being too naive to rush into cutting ties with the Nishizaki family now?"

Tian Jiangzhi took out a recorder and slowly placed it in front of Nishizaki Zhouming.

The recorder blinked, then lit up.

"Shirakawa Masanori has discovered your secret. If he reveals this evidence, guess what kind of backlash the Nishizaki family will suffer?"

That was the voice of Nishizaki Zhouming.

"I'm not interested in what you said. I just simply hate him."

"It would be great if you could take him out."

"I heard he has a sick little son, I think he's in the US? I've been paying close attention to him. I have the hospital's phone number. In this world, there's no one who doesn't want money, right? It's just a matter of making a phone call and bribing a doctor."

"But we have to put on a full show. His son already has mental issues, so wouldn't it be easy to just give him some provocation?"

"I have connections on that flight. The guy on that flight is a fool with no background. I have the upper hand. I can help you connect them. With the power of your Nishizaki family, you can easily make him do what you want, right?"

"After Shirakawa Masanori's death, that position is exactly what I need."

"Haha, think whatever you want. Anyway, the final winner will only be me—"

As the recorder revealed the truths he had kept secret for years, murderous intent flashed in Nishizaki Zhouming's eyes. He sat up straight and looked at the guy in front of him with a cold gaze: "You'd better turn it off, otherwise I can't guarantee that you can walk out of this alive."

Tian Jiangzhi smiled innocently and silently put the recorder away. "Do you think you're the only one who can threaten Mr. Nishizaki after what happened back then? If it weren't for the desire to permanently bind you to the Nishizaki family, why would Mr. Nishizaki let you, his illegitimate son, return to the Nishizaki family?"

Nishizaki Zhouming returned to the Nishizaki family just to prove his identity and clear the stigma of being an illegitimate child, but Nishizaki Taro was not someone who could be easily manipulated. He was willing to let Nishizaki Zhouming come back just to keep him under his nose and feel at ease.

Before, they were in a state of checks and balances with each other. Nishizaki Zhouming held the handle on the Nishizaki family, and Nishizaki Taro also held the handle on Nishizaki Zhouming.

But now Taro Nishizaki is dead, and the Nishizaki family is on the verge of collapse. The only person who is restrained is Nishizaki Zhouming.

Xi Qi Zhou Ming stared at the person in front of him with a dark expression, his voice tinged with venom: "That old thing, he really can't rest even after death."

Tian Jiangzhi smiled slightly. "Master knows your abilities, so he has always regarded you as a trump card of the Nishizaki family. You can get your current position because of his tacit approval from the beginning. You don't think that without Shirakawa Masanao, you can also be like Shirakawa Masanao, rising all the way to become the head of the Special Investigation Department, right?"

Shirakawa Masaru's status and achievements were never given by those above, nor were they given to him because of a vacancy. Instead, they were earned through his own hard work. Otherwise, do you really think that when the time comes and you have enough experience, you will be able to move forward smoothly?

There are very few Purple Stars like him.

And it is obvious that Nishizaki Zhouming is not among them.

After hearing what Tian Jiangzhi said, Nishizaki Zhouming's face twitched. He was obviously extremely angry and almost couldn't control his facial expression.

"Nishizaki Zhouming, you have to admit that without the Nishizaki family, you are nothing."

Tian Jiangzhi said calmly.

"Your abilities, your status, your achievements are nothing but illusions you create for yourself."

"You think you can rely on yourself, but the Nishizaki family is everywhere."
